Ten Things Tuesday!

Sparty18 · April 2016

I feel like we could use some positive vibes here today, let's see your 10 things!

meilay · April 2016

1. I wore a really pretty sunshine yellow dress to work today and I'm getting tons of compliments. I wore the dress because I'm feeling a little down and wanted to "fake it til I make it." It's working!
2. My students' responses to said dress are hilarious! I had one student say "you look different!" in the same tone someone would say "you look great!"
3. DH helped me come up with what will hopefully be the presentation that clinches my job offer in my 2nd round interview tomorrow.
4. I had a moment while preparing dinner yesterday where I just felt really blessed. DH was working at the dining room table, I was cooking us a delicious healthy meal, we were enjoying time in our beautiful home. It was nice.
5. I'm finally starting to get a little bit of peace after being (I firmly believe unfairly) terminated. I went to a really dark place and though I still get angry, it's getting much easier.
6. I have therapy today and though I totally judged my therapist by his "cover," he's been surprisingly helpful in just a few sessions.
7. I've left myself enough projects around the house to (hopefully) distract myself during my first official TWW.
8. Pinterest has been a great distraction also.
9. I feel really positive this month. Not necessarily positive that it'll happen for us but just good about the whole process of TTC. Obviously I want to be totes KTFU but still. I feel confident I'll be able to handle my disappointment well if it doesn't happen.
10. The sun us shining here and it's not too hot!

thj101 · April 2016

1. Spaghettios (sp) for lunch today.
2. The last episode of The People vs. OJ Simpson tonight.. bittersweet.. such a great show!
3. Slow day at work which means more time for TB!
4. My back ordered Pottery Barn plates that I bought on sale in January came today.
5. I have drank 40 oz of water already today.
6. I get to leave work early tomorrow and Friday!
7. Brunch on Saturday morning with dear friends.
8. Wedding Saturday night, that will hopefully keep DH in the mood for BD....
9. A beautiful sunshiny day.
10. T-Pain blaring on my iPod.

ladystinson · April 2016

1. I fixed a hole in a 6 panel door last night... I'm super excited. Gonna sand it tonight. It was right on the detail of the panel so of course its not a flat fix... of course I didnt think to take a pic before but I'll see if I can get before and after sanding at least
2. We picked tile for our kitchen/dining room! We have a peninsula counter that separates the 2 and on the dining room side we're going to tile it (the kitchen side is under the counter and where the trashcan is so theres no point
3. I got all my crap moved to my craft room over the weekend (translation: poor DH carried everything up)
4. Now I'm getting the last of my stuff moved out of my parent's basement and shed
5. I finished the first section of the TTC book club book so yay for that!
6. I'm painting the hall probably tonight, itll look so nice to have fresh clean white lol
7. I'm totally caught up on Game of Thrones! Tonight I'm starting to catch up on Walking Dead. I only have about a half season of that though as opposed to the 5 seasons of GoT's lol
8. We decided that we're going to paint our cabinets, not sure what color yet, but something to brighten it up
9. I have nothing else.... yay its not monday!
10. Thank you @Sparty18 for starting this, I knew something was missing today but it never even occurred to me that it was this!

Sparty18 · April 2016

Beautiful blue skies today... I won't comment on the temperature.
Six days until my annual with my OB! Can't wait to discuss TTC.
We got some great news at work yesterday that will prevent us from doing something extra we thought we would have to do.
I'm on Day 6 of 30 days of Yoga with Adriene today in my newly converted yoga room!
The ending to the national championship game last night was crazy! I was happy UNC lost.
We have no big plans this coming weekend and I'm excited for some relaxation time.
H and I have decided to pick a vacation spot for June by the end of this week. Recommendations welcome (in the US and Zika free)!
I don't have to make dinner tonight because we have leftovers!
We are planning on catching up on all the shows tonight that we missed while H was gone.
I love looking at all the cute baby animal gifs!

PepperAT · April 2016

2. 5 more sleeps until we leave for vacation! DH is extra excited which makes me even more excited.
3. I ate pie for breakfast and I'm not even sorry.
4. DH works late tonight, which means I get to watch my recorded shows that he would never watch with me.
5. I also get to eat whatever I want and not get any of his judging comments.
6. Half of my car loan is paid off. I am starting to feel like there is an end in sight!
7. At my job, we get an annual audit that is super stressful for all of us and they only give us a short notice. They told us this morning that it's happening next week and I won't be here! Totally made my day.
8. I was feeling really down today and people at work have cheered me up.
9. TB just ate my whole post so I had to retype this. I forgot what I was going to say here.

TheJerilu · April 2016

Feeling much better than I was yesterday. Going early home and playing video games was nice though.
One of my favorite WWE developmental wrestling teams got promoted to Raw last night! So excited for them.
A bunch of my team (who know I'm a wrestling fan), apparently watched and were like, "who was that guy in leopard print because that was awesome"
We're also going to a local wrestling show this weekend which should be fire. Okay that's enough wrestling talk for now.
We have so much beer in our fridge right now.
Partner buzzed half my head this weekend, so my long hair is looking even longer.
Somebody brought in a bunch of chocolate as an up-for-grabs in the kitchen. I indulged.
We got an estimate to update our heating and install AC in both units of our house, and it was right around where we were expecting. That means we're probably going to go ahead and get it installed!
Debating booking a vacation for memorial day weekend to somewhere
My boss's son visited today, and he is an unusually cute child.

sLass42 · April 2016

@Sparty18 We just got back from honeymoon in blue ridge mountains in georgia. Less touristy than gatlinburg, but the cabin was beautiful and pet friendly!
@ladystinson we just finished twd finale last night! It was epic. Can't wait for GOT, I read the books but now the series is getting ahead of them, it's so unfair. I just want the big "Jon is Lyanna and Reagars son" theory answered!

1. It's finally sunny, but set to hit 80 degrees this week. What's a season? lol
2. the stray kitty we adopted has finally gotten comfy inside. Now he talks constantly and follows me everywhere
3. Having homemade banana bread for lunch. It's butter free and made with honey. but i had no nuts, so boo.
4. Work is finally slowing down even though we lost our graphic artist. Thought the transition would be so much worse.
5. I bought an old fashioned candy mix for the office candy bowl and I cant stop eating it...smarties, mary janes, gotze's caramels mmmm
6. After our last home inspection fiasco (termites, mold, & a re-roof) we've decided to hold off and save another year. Then we can look at something nice or finally move out of state (we love GA now lol). Plus, I now have $600 extra to spend on whatever yay.
7. Related to the above.. we're going to drop our realtor and I'm sooo relieved. She's been terrible. We couldn't even get into a few houses because she never checks properties first and I've had to do all the legwork with the lender, banks, and even the home seller.
8. Spoiler alert** Just watched the finale of new TWD....unfortunately I'm googling like crazy now trying to see what happens. Found some audio slowed down during the credits and I'm so upset. I will say no more
9. Finished alot of my Taking Charge of Your Fertility Book finally. I learned so much its ridiculous.
10. Waiting to get off work to make a daring Wal Mart stop with DH. He needs star wars

housewifehobbyist · April 2016

1. Spring is coming! It's freezing today, but just KNOWING warm weather is around the bend helps
2. Recieved an awesome "thinking of you" text from a friend I haven't seen in awhile
3. I am learning French through the Duolingo app and I'm only a little way into it but I'm feeling confident so far
4. I bought a romper on sale from Old Navy online even though I'm scared of rompers (hourglass figure- big booty) and online ordering can be dicey. It looks amazing and I'm so happy about my $12 purchase
5. I've been really good with clean eating so far this week and we went grocery shopping yesterday and got a bunch of healthy whole foods
6. I got my first Brazilian wax yesterday and I kind of love it, plus it didn't hurt as much as I was expecting
7. Keith Urban's new song is a bop and have had it on replay all day
8. I'm heavily involved with an organization that reduces food insecurity for children in the US. We're having our big NYC benefit at the end of the month and the amount of donations and volunteers I've gotten is overwhelming and lovely.
9. My husband is awesome. Yes he drives me crazy sometimes, but even then I know I'm lucky to have him.
10. Cute baby animals everywhere! I love it!

ladystinson · April 2016

@sLass42 omg DH was quizzing me last night lol he's read all the books and watched the show when it was actually on (I just started watching a couple months ago) so he's like asking what I think about something and then following up with "what you should be asking is blank" lol he's such a dork and I love him for it. though he was really confusing me about the targaryens and something that they left out of the series. oh well, guess I'll find out eventually, he has all the books so one day I'll read them

kfair001 · April 2016

I don't normally post in here but I want to make an effort to be more involved so here goes nothing!

1. Got in another workout at the gym this morning before work. Felt Great! 7 days in a row.
2. DH is working later tonight so I get to catch up on all my shows and then hopefully convince him to BD!
3. Work is very calm today and I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off like yesterday.
4. A friend of mine confided in me today about her and her DH TTC, I'm excited to have someone to finally talk to about this in person!
5. I get to see my nephew after work.

6. The weather is warming up....a little.
7. The sun is out and there isn't a cloud in the sky.
8. My commune into work this morning was nice an quick.
9. I got new hand lotion this morning and it smells amazing and I can't stop putting it on.
10. I just got delivery confirmation that my protein powder was just delivered.

Oh the little things!

@meilay Fake it until you make it. That's a common occurrence for me at work lately! At least I'm not the only one!

@housewifehobbyist I've been wanted to get a brazillian for month and I just can't work up the courage!

sLass42 · April 2016

@ladystinson ha, DH and I are the opposite. I'm the super nerd! Yeah they left alot out of the show, but I think they'll use that to extend the series till the books come out. Plus the books are hardcore, you're switching between first person views constantly and you know characters dont live long!
Just google Jon Snow- Son of Reagar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark.
Maybe you can surprise him with knowledge

thj101 · April 2016

@mrsdee15 what is tri-tip?

gonetothesea · April 2016

1. I have a small event planning side business that I just started with my little sister a few months ago, and we've done some weddings here and there, but today we got TWO inquiries! I am so jazzed!
2. The Making the Murderer lawyers are doing a town to town tour to talk about justice, and I was psyched and bought tickets the first day they were available, but I got a phone call from the theater saying it's been cancelled.

3. But on the upside, I get $120 back into my checking account!
4. I woke up to a wonderful and unexpected surprise in my inbox this morning!
5. Last night was the final episode of 11.22.63! I can't wait to watch it with DH tonight.

7. I downloaded the "Plant Nanny" app a couple days ago and it's totally making me drink more water!
8. I am down to one Easter Reese's egg. I am trying to ration it. I should have hidden them from DH.
9. I've been listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers all day at my desk. They put me in such a good mood.
10. Only one more hour of work for me. Yesssss.

housewifehobbyist · April 2016

@sLass42 and @ladystinson I love both the books and the show, but they are essentially different stories sharing characters at this point. Even GRRM said that the show has made changes that make it impossible to follow the books now.

@kfair001 I think I was less nervous about the pain than showing my a$$hole to a stranger! I figure if I'm going to have a baby I better get used to pain and immodesty down there.

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

1. I'm currently eating my veggies like a good little girl.
2. My dad was offered, and took, a new job today! His company is closing down and he hasn't been on the job market for like 30 years, so he's excited.
3. I think it's FW. No positive opk yet, but it's about time and I'm definitely feeling girly.
4. O better happen by Friday... Hubster is out of town this weekend.
5. Hubster is out of town this weekend! I get to do things he doesn't like!
6. I also get to eat things he doesn't like. Chicken salad, here I come!!
7. We have a girl's outing on Saturday that I'm really looking forward to.
8. I'm voting in our primary today. Lines had better be short.
9. My broken toe is healing. It aches but it's healing!
10. I want a cookie. I'm not going to eat a cookie, but I want a cookie.

Neikoda · April 2016

1. I got my HelloFresh and BlueApron this weekend and DH made the stir-fry last night. It was awesome.
gonetothesea Thanks again.
2. My dog was trying to guard his food from the cat last night and ate without chewing. It all came back up.

3. I read the first 3 chapters of our book club book last week and already forgot most of what I read.
4. There was so dessert in my house last night and I'm eating my feelings right now so I made a cookie in a mug.
5. I made FR refund me $44 for faulty tests, because I'm a jerk like that.
6. I finally blew the inseam of my black jeggings that I've already sewn back together twice. I'm too cheap to buy another $12 pair of jeggings.
7. I'm not keeping up with my Fitbit ladies because it's cold outside and I no longer have a gym membership since they cut my lock without any warning and wouldn't replace it so I quit giving them my money.
8. I took my puppy to the dog park this weekend for two hours. He loved it and I got to play with dogs all day so it was a win-win.
9. DH forgot to make something for lunches today so he let me take the left overs and he made himself a sandwich, because he's awesome like that.
10. I'm out of work in 6 minutes.

MelissaM090 · April 2016

1. I found out that a financial windfall from my employer means that I'm getting a 'bonus' - but they're calling it a 'per diem' so I don't have to pay tax on it (or something - they're working it out with the accountant). I was super bummed about owing on my taxes for the second year in a row, and this bonus will take care of that debt, and will have a little left over for something fun!

2. Day 2 on Femara and I have my first side effect (I think) - I've been cold all day because our weather is terrible but I'm super flushed and have hot cheeks. I don't even mind because I feel like side effects are 'proof' that medication is working. Even though that might be ridiculous, it's just my way of thinking

. And rosy cheeks aren't a bad thing!

3. DH was super cute on Sunday night (and last night) watching the Academy of Country Music Awards with me. He's so not into country music, but he's slowly coming around and now he's trying to educate himself, so he was all 'so who's that guy again?'. Makes me feel all warm and squishy when he tries to be interested in something just for my benefit.

4. Feeling great about my new fitness classes and feeling like I'm making better choices, and being adamant about not dieting - just trying to have a healthier lifestyle without depriving myself. Feels good!

5. I have a work thing tonight, which is one of my committee meetings that's actually fun, and at a restaurant I really like. So I get paid to work it, but also get to use it as an excuse to go in late tomorrow so I can sleep in a bit!

6. I ordered the combination pack of Wondfos from Amazon today and they'll be here Friday! Even though I'm a married adult I still feel weird about buying pregnancy tests at the store (small town, I know lots of people, etc) so this is a better option, and I'm excited to try OPK's for the first time.

7. I got some cash from a side job I did, and I'm going to treat myself to a nice new top for spring! I love new clothes but always feel guilty buying them when we try so hard to budget well, but the money I earn aside from my regular job is fair game!

8. I reorganized every single piece of paper in our house into a filing cabinet, and for the first time yesterday when DH asked me to find something (his car insurance policy) I was able to locate it in under 30 seconds. 3 cheers for organization!

9. We bought clementines at Costco on the weekend and they're ah-mazing. No idea why they're so much better than the grocery store ones but we're both addicted.

10. This week is going fast and my boss is away so I'm on my own schedule and getting lots accomplished without worrying about him! And I've been texting back and forth with him and he's in a great mood which keeps me in a great mood!

Mine are really long, and I used a lot of exclamation points. Sorry 'bout that!

whiska · April 2016

1. Even though I was super late to work I was able to get a workout in this morning. Whoo!
2. I'm so thankful that the headache-after-exercise issue seems to have subsided (though I'm still taking it easy).
3. DH and I are going to bar trivia tonight and it's my favorite thing ever. Ever!
4. I'm excited to try and fit two weeks worth of clothes in a single carry-on. How's that for spin?
5. I want to set my clock forward before the trip so I'm going to try and get up 30 min early tomorrow and keep going until I'm getting up at 4:30 or 5:00.
6. All the siggies this month are too much. I want a puppy so bad!!!
7. I'm having a bowl of Mini-Wheats for dinner.
8. We decided get some flower pots and hanging planters for our porch later this spring to prettify our favorite reading place

9. My sister sent me a video of my 6yo nephew reading Hop on Pop. So cute!
10. We're looking forward to starting Season 2 of Daredevil sometime this week!

MamaMunn · April 2016

I haven't done one of these in awhile so here we go!

1. I have the day off and DH is working overtime because of the Wisconsin primaries today. I'm totally loving all this me time!
2. I'm on day 5 of no caffeine and I'm finally starting to feel better. Giving up caffeine is no joke.
3. I've been feeling pretty down lately about ttc. So bummed that I actually started researching adoption. Now I kind of think I want to adopt whether we can conceive or not! All those poor kiddos need a good home.
4. I'm going to brunch on Sunday for my Aunt's birthday. I love brunch and spending time with my family!
5. My SIL has her C-section scheduled later this month. I'm really excited to be an auntie again! I hope my sadness can remain in the background when we go to visit.
6. I really need some nice weather or something this weekend so I can get outside!
7. If I could wear leggings and t-shirts every day for the rest of my life I would.
8. DH has been so awesome lately. He stuck up for me the other day when MIL wouldn't stop bugging me about babies and all I could think about what how much I love him.
9. My kitties have been giving me extra snuggles today
10. I'm all alone for dinner tonight so I'm seriously considering just going out to get some cheese curds.

We've been with hello fresh for 6 months now and love it!

redheeler · April 2016

1. The dog I'm watching that had puppies unexpectedly the other day, should be being picked up sometime today. I'm happy about it because I didn't want to worry about the pups, but sad because they're so cute!
2. It's my mums birthday today, going to buy her a nice big bouquet of flowers and take DS to visit her at work.
3. DS is sleeping in! I've been up
since 6:30 it's now 8:00 and he's still asleep!
4. I've gotten so much done this morning!
5. *** TW, just for this one***

my SIL is pregnant with her first, up until a few weeks ago, she would discuss everything with me, she hasnt spoken to me since Easter, and only then it was because I text her asking how her U/S went. I appreciate her keeping her distance after my loss, but I don't want to feel on the out! I am and I want to be excited for her, but I'm being kept at arms length, it's really annoying!

TW over***

6. I've run out of things!
7. DS is awake!
8. He's telling me about the garbage trucks in detail!
9. He's 2 so I haven't actually got a clue what he's telling me about them, I just picked up the word "truck"
10. 10 puppies! 6 girls 4 boys, and they're cute, have a photo!

eta posted before the photo loaded

AliciaGoose · April 2016

1. My DH and his friend just took our pup to the dog park and let me stay inside where it's warm!

2. I think we're going to play Dominion when they get back, which is my fave card game! I can't wait. I haven't played in forever.

3. I'm giving tests in 3/4 classes tomorrow which means it's an easy day and I can catch up on some work.

4. I'm watching 11-22-63 while they're at the dog park because I'm obsessed, and DH doesn't watch with me so it's hard to watch when he's home.

5. I'm going to look at bridesmaid dresses for my best friends wedding on Saturday and I'm SO excited! We got engaged a week apart from one another 3.5 years ago!

6. Next week is spring break and I am so excited. The weather is supposed to warm up and I have big plans to go on lots of walks, watch tv, play games, go to the gym, and cook more elaborate time consuming meals!

7. The second kid I tutor canceled so I got to come home early today! And to top it off I'll still get paid because I think we're rescheduling to tomorrow. Even better? It'll be by FaceTime, so I'll get paid to be at home! This is my favorite tutoring family so I actually don't even mind going there. But still.

8. I am LOVING our group read. I'm about halfway done. I'm going to be on the struggle bus to remember what happened in different chapters but I'm hoping cliff notes will help me remember.

9. Even though it's freezing in my apartment (because apparently winter decides to come back for the beginning of spring) I'm nice and cozy under my Barnes and noble throw that I grabbed for 50% off plus my member discount plus a 15% coupon this weekend!

10. I'm running out of positives (even though I'm in a good mood) so I'll close it off by just saying how wonderful all of you are and how happy I am to be a part of such an amazing, caring, and knowledgable group of people!

7. I should be working on my paper but I'd rather watch TV
8. I thought I would have more interesting things to say
